Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

How your Alaska claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. An Alaska claim gets built on two things: the Alaska lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Anchorage Lemon Law Basics
Claims from Anchorage fall under Alaska Stat. §45.45.300 to §45.45.360, which covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Alaska for personal, family, or household use. If the defect is still there once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, and you are within the deadline, you may have a claim. Our Alaska Lemon Law Attorneys page has the statute text, the deadlines and the used-car rules.
How an Anchorage Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Anchorage.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Anchorage dealership, even the short ones. Under Alaska's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Alaska statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including the written notice to the manufacturer by certified mail that Alaska law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Anchorage Car a Lemon? Alaska's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Alaska law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Alaska the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative business days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Alaska, the deadline is the written notice deadline under AS 45.45.310: within 60 days after the earlier of the express warranty expiring or 1 year from original delivery. We check that deadline against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.
If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666
If you think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Anchorage
Alaska has boroughs, not counties, and the Census lists Anchorage as Anchorage Municipality. Its general civil trial court is the Alaska Superior Court, Third Judicial District at Anchorage. Alaska also has a lower court for smaller civil claims, so the amount in dispute can change where a case is filed. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Alaska lemon law is Alaska Stat. §45.45.300 to §45.45.360. Alaska's lemon law sets no arbitration step before a lawsuit.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The Alaska lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own. A manufacturer that refuses a required refund or replacement is presumed to have committed an unfair trade practice, and a plaintiff who prevails in that kind of action is awarded full reasonable attorney fees (AS 45.50.537(a)).
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Alaska Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide an Anchorage Claim
Alaska law sets a repair test and says whether arbitration comes first, and Court and Venue above already explains both. Here are a few of its other rules.
Notable provisions of Alaska Lemon Law
Alaska counts business days, not calendar days, for the out-of-service calculation. The manufacturer must be given written notice and a final repair opportunity.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
By statute, the Alaska remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. When an Anchorage car qualifies under Alaska law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.
Refund
The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, but it may deduct a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.
Cash Settlement
The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.
